Release 1.0.4.1 2/3/2011
- Added an option to prevent saving ANY filename.jpg type file. This is useful if you're only updating the XML and have no need to update the JPG files.
Release 1.0.3.4 2/1/2011
- Added a proper XML declaration at the top of the file. The Hub doesn't seem to care if one is absent, but t's still good practice...
- Corrected a problem when user attempted to put a space at the end of the filename.
- Temporary workaround: The FANART used is now a low-resolution version because the Full-HD versions may crash the Hub under certain circumstances.
Release 1.0.3.3 1/30/2011
- Fixed a bug that crashed the program when saving a series from a start point other than the first episode.
Release 1.0.3.2 1/30/2011

Release 1.0.2.10 1/29/2011
- Corrected Abnormal Termination if user selects a Show ID that has XML but no valid episodes inside it.
- Corrected several issues where data from previous series remained in memory when user selected a new series
- Removed spurious "|" symbols flanking the Genre and Director fields.
- Fixed "Array out of bounds" error for series with more than 99 "episodes" in a season.
- Added an option to include the EPISODE name in the OVERVIEW text, since hub is presently IGNORING the TITLE tag. This option is ENABLED by DEFAULT, but when this bug on the hub is fixed, I'll change the default to DISABLED.
- Now the ORDER of BACKDROP presentation varies with the episode number. That way, as you scroll through the episodes on the Hub, the different episodes' backdrops will initialize with a different backdrop.
- Example: Episode 1 will show backdrops 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ... 20 in that order.
- Episode 5 will show backdrops 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 .. 20, then 1, 2, 3.. and so on.
- Substantial performance improvement when saving SEASON or SERIES at a time by not continually updating the displayed image until the save is completed.
